Which number can you add to get a sum of 0 A . -10 B. -5 C. 0 D. 5

1 answer:

4 0

To figure this one out, my pre calculus teacher said to "plug and chug". Since you are adding each number to itself, A=-20, B=-10, C=0, and D=10. So your answer would be C.0

Derivative Notation

Derivative Property [Multiplied Constant]: $\displaystyle \frac{d}{dx} [cf(x)] = c \cdot f'(x)$

Derivative Property [Addition/Subtraction]: $\displaystyle \frac{d}{dx}[f(x) + g(x)] = \frac{d}{dx}[f(x)] + \frac{d}{dx}[g(x)]$

Basic Power Rule:

f(x) = cxⁿ
f’(x) = c·nxⁿ⁻¹

1st Derivative Test - tells us where on the function f(x) does it have a relative maximum or minimum

Critical Numbers

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

Identify

$\displaystyle P = \frac{-1}{10}s^3 + 6s^2 + 400$

Step 2: Differentiate

[Function] Derivative Property [Addition/Subtraction]: $\displaystyle P' = \frac{dP}{ds} \bigg[ \frac{-1}{10}s^3 \bigg] + \frac{dP}{ds} [ 6s^2 ] + \frac{dP}{ds} [ 400 ]$
[Derivative] Rewrite [Derivative Property - Multiplied Constant]: $\displaystyle P' = \frac{-1}{10} \frac{dP}{ds} \bigg[ s^3 \bigg] + 6 \frac{dP}{ds} [ s^2 ] + \frac{dP}{ds} [ 400 ]$
[Derivative] Basic Power Rule: $\displaystyle P' = \frac{-1}{10}(3s^2) + 6(2s)$
[Derivative] Simplify: $\displaystyle P' = -\frac{3s^2}{10} + 12s$

Step 3: 1st Derivative Test

[Derivative] Set up: $\displaystyle 0 = -\frac{3s^2}{10} + 12s$
[Derivative] Factor: $\displaystyle 0 = \frac{-3s(s - 40)}{10}$
[Multiplication Property of Equality] Isolate s terms: $\displaystyle 0 = -3s(s - 40)$
[Solve] Find quadratic roots: $\displaystyle s = 0, 40$

∴ s = 0, 40 are our critical numbers.

Step 4: Find Profit

[Function] Substitute in s = 0: $\displaystyle P(0) = \frac{-1}{10}(0)^3 + 6(0)^2 + 400$
[Order of Operations] Evaluate: $\displaystyle P(0) = 400$
[Function] Substitute in s = 40: $\displaystyle P(40) = \frac{-1}{10}(40)^3 + 6(40)^2 + 400$
[Order of Operations] Evaluate: $\displaystyle P(40) = 3600$
